What draft were you watching?  I certainly never heard any of the commentators say anything close to Tebow being the "best QB available in the draft" and the "only one in the draft that could play in the NFL right now".  In fact, much more of the opposite... Kiper was musing that Tebow might be a decent "H-back" at some point.  And, like Dex said earlier, Tebow was the 2nd QB drafted.



Let me preface this first by saying that I am (a) a University of Florida Alum and (B) a Browns fan... so I am without-a-doubt extremely biased.  Quinn has already shown that he just doesn't have what it takes, yet, to be a leading NFL quarterback and Orton apparently hasn't shown the Broncos that he's their man, either.  Tebow has been one of the most successful and winningest QBs in Florida High School Football and College Football History.  He's a Heisman Trophy winner and a 2-time National Champion.  He may not be a prototypical NFL pocket passer, but there's obviously something to him.  He will work his butt off to make himself, and the team, better and, character-wise, you couldn't ask for more in a leader.  I think that Denver is thinking that here's a proven winner, a hard worker, and a great human being... and I think that there was huge value where they picked him.


But, like I said, I'm biased.
